4 Fundamental Principles Fundamental Inversion Principle The fundamental principle underlying the inversion of seismic data is the determination of an Earth model that is fully consistent with measured data. That is, given data U measured over some part of the Earth s surface, inversion seeks that Earth model whose synthetic seismic response matches the measured data as accurately as possible. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

5 Fundamental Principles Full Waveform Inversion Full waveform inversion is a Newton-Raphson style minimization method. (see e.g. Lailly (1983), Tarantola (1984), Crase (1990), Mora (1987,1999), Pratt (1999), and Pratt and Shipp (1999)) A quantitative difference between measured, for which the underlying mathematical model is not known, and synthetic data, for which a model is known, is minimized. If successful this approach provides a model that is completely consistent withe observed or measured data. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

6 Fundamental Principles Inverse Scattering Inversion Inverse scattering is a step-by-step method in which parts of the original measured data are eliminated until the remaining data consist of primary reflections only. The final step seeks to produce an accurate image with zero knowledge of the primary Earth model. Each step involves identifying and summing a sub series of the full inverse scattering series. There are, of course, sub series sums that focus on other useful information, but these are beyond the scope of this presentation.

7 Fundamental Principles Full waveform Inversion and Inverse Scattering Alternative approaches to seismic data inversion. FWI minimizes an objective function based on the difference between synthetic and real data Some have called this an indirect method Suggests that it is not worth the research effort it currently enjoys. Inverse scattering is a step-by-step approach the removes all multiples before producing an image of the seismic data without knowledge of the velocity Some consider this to direct method As such it is superior to FWI At first glance the two approaches seem to have sufficiently different theoretical foundations to suggest that they have little in common,but as we will see they both work with residual type data.

9 Green s Functions, Operators, Data and Sources Functions Green s Function The Green s function for a simple two-way-frequency-domain-scalar wave equation is defined as the solution to ( ω 2 K + 1 ) ρ 2 G(r, r s, ω) = δ(r r s ), where δ is the Dirac delta function, r and r s are the field and source location variables, K is bulk modulus, and ρ is density. In mathematical terms, G is the impulse response of the inhomogeneous differential equation. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

10 Green s Functions, Operators, Data and Sources Operators Green s Operators The principle of superposition says that convolution U = G g of a Green s function with a source g(r s, ω) is the solution to the inhomogeneous equation ( ω 2 K + 1 ) ρ 2 U = g(r s, ω) so we can think of G as an operator from sources to data. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

11 Green s Functions, Operators, Data and Sources Operators Differential Equations as Operators If we define the differential operator L as ( ω 2 L = K + 1 ) ρ 2 then L is an operator from data back to sources and the corresponding Green s operator is the negative inverse of L. Thus, LG = I Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

12 Green s Functions, Operators, Data and Sources Operator Relationships Data and Sources In operator terms, U = G(φ) for a source φ satisfies L(U) = φ. (1) In this case, U when restricted to a recording surface is what we like to call seismic data and normally is the five-dimensional data set we record on or near the surface. Using modern computational resources, U can be synthesize quite efficiently and in this context measured everywhere on and within the model defining L. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

13 Green s Functions, Operators, Data and Sources Data and Sources Sources as data and data as sources In what follows, we make no mathematical distinction between U or φ. They are simply well behaved continuous possibly vector valued functions on the same domain. They are differential up to the highest order deemed appropriate and are elements of the same function space. However, because G generates data, and L produces sources, it is convenient to think of the first in terms of sources and the second in terms of data.

15 Full Waveform Inversion The Optimization Problem Full waveform inversion (FWI) is formulated as an optimization problem where an objective function of the form J(U, U 0 ) (2) is minimized. Here U = G(φ) represents recorded data for an unknown L and source φ and U 0 = G 0 (φ) represents synthetic data for a known Green s function. The determination of an accurate version of φ is critical for FWI to be successful. Long offsets and low frequencies are also extremely important. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

16 Full Waveform Inversion The Objective Function In the current research literature, (see Symes (2010)) the function J takes many forms. Most frequently J is the L 2 norm (Pratt (1999), Pratt and Shipp (1999)), but it can also be an L 1 norm, the norm of a phase difference (Bednar et. al. (2007)), a logarithmic difference (Shin et. al. (2007)), an amplitude difference (Pyun et. al. (2007)), the norm of a difference of analytic functions, or the norm of envelope differences. It has been specified in space-time, frequency, and in the Laplace domain (Shin and Cha (2008)). Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

17 Full Waveform Inversion Earth Model Representation Earth models in FWI are represented by a discrete set p = {p k } of parameters consistent with what is believed to be the true subsurface and in this case, the updating scheme is expressed as p n = p n 1 H 1 p n 1 p n 1J (3) Where p n 1J is the gradient of J. We note that this gradient is some form of residual or difference between the recorded and synthetic data. Traditionally, is the inverse of the Hessian matrix. Since in most cases, p n 1J H 1 p n 1 represents a migration of a residual, we prefer to view H 1 p n 1 p n 1 type of imaging condition. as a special Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

18 In operator From Full Waveform Inversion Operator Form Clearly the updating scheme can also be expressed in operator form L n 0 = L n 1 0 H n 1 p n 1R n 1, (4) where R n 1 is the appropriate residual, but because it usually requires an excessive amount of memory this approach has never been popular. From the authors perspective, FWI is relatively simple to explain, understand, and implement. It is not clear that a similar statements can be made relative to ISS.

20 Literature Inverse Scattering One of the very first papers on this methodology was that of Ware and Aki (1969). A good beginners reference for inverse scattering is provided by Weglein et. al. (2003). Interested readers are refereed to the latter article for more precise explanations of the topics in the following discussions. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

21 Lippmann-Schwinger Inverse Scattering The Lippmann-Schwinger Equation Because it is the usual starting point it is not possible to discuss ISS without first reviewing the Lippmann-Schwinger Equation. For invertible operators or matrices L 0, and L or their inverses G 0 and G with the same domain and range one can write and L L 0 = L (G G 0 ) L 0 G G 0 = G 0 (L L 0 ) G These Lippmann-Schwinger Equations are, in fact, straightforward operator identities. There is absolutely nothing overly complex or special about them. The operators can be fairly arbitrary and have almost nothing in common. As long as they have appropriate dimensions exactly the same domain and range and are invertible, both equations hold. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

22 Inverse Scattering The Forward Scattering Series The Forward Scattering Series With (I (L L 0 )) G = G 0 (I (G G 0 )) L = L 0 we have the so-called forward scattering series n= G G 0 = G 0 n=1 (L L 0 ) n G n 0 n= L L 0 = L 0 (G G 0 ) n L n 0 n=1 Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

23 Inverse Scattering The Forward Scattering Series Convergence While neither of the Lippmann-Schwinger equations are of much use in what follows, it is worth noting that There is no need for uniform convergence They converge for some source φ or data U only if GL 0 (U) U < 1 and LG 0 (φ) φ < 1 In essence, L 0 must be close to the inverse of G and G 0 must be close to the inverse of G 0 Note that both of these formulas are based on a residual difference between either data or sources Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

24 Inverse Series Inverse Scattering The Inverse Series The inverse series is formed by assuming that either G G 0 or L L 0 can be expressed as in terms of powers of the other. Thus taking one of V = L L 0 = n= n=1 n= n=1 V n V = G G 0 = V n and then solving for V n or V n for each n provides a series in terms of powers of either the data or the source differences. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

25 Inverse Scattering The Inverse Series Solving for V k For example, solving for V k begins by collecting terms of like order in the series n= n= k= G 0 (L L 0 ) n G n 0 = G 0 ( V k ) n G n 0 (5) so that L L 0 = G 0 V 1 G 0 n=1 0 = G 0 V 2 G 0 + G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 0 = G 0 V 3 G 0 + G 0 V 1 G 0 V 2 G 0 + G 0 V 2 G 0 V 1 G 0 + G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0. n=1 k=1 0 = G 0 V n G 0 + G 0 V 1 G 0 V n 1 G 0 + G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

26 Inverse Scattering The Inverse Series Solving for V k From which it follows that V 1 = L 0 (G G 0 )L 0 V 2 = V 1 G 0 V 1 V 3 = V 1 G 0 V 2 V 2 G 0 V 1 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 = +V 1 G 0 (V 1 G 0 V 1 ) + (V 1 G 0 V 1 )G 0 V 1 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 = +V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 V 4 = 2V 1 G 0 V 3 V 2 G 0 V 2 3V 1 G 0 V 1 GV 2 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 = V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 V 5 = 2V 1 G 0 V 4 2V 2 G 0 V 3 3V 1 G 0 V 2 G 0 V 2 3V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 3 4V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 2 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 = V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1 G 0 V 1. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

27 Inverse Scattering The Inverse Series Solving for V k Which can be expressed in the simplified form V 1 = L 0 (G G 0 )L 0 V 2 = ( 1) 1 (V 1 G 0 ) 2 L 0 = ( 1) 1 (L 0 (G G 0 )) 2 L 0 V 3 = ( 1) 2 (V 1 G 0 ) 3 L 0 = ( 1) 2 (L 0 (G G 0 )) 3 L 0 V 4 = ( 1) 3 (V 1 G 0 ) 4 L 0 = ( 1) 3 (L 0 (G G 0 )) 4 L 0 V 5 = ( 1) 4 (V 1 G 0 ) 5 L 0 = ( 1) 4 (L 0 (G G 0 )) 5 L 0. V n = ( 1) n 1 (V 1 G 0 ) n L 0 ) = ( 1) n 1 (L 0 (G G 0 )) n L 0. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

28 Inverse Scattering The Inverse Series Solving for V k The inverse series can be written in the form [ ] L L 0 = L 0 (G G 0 ) ( 1) n 1 L n 0 (G G 0 ) n L 0 (6) and G G 0 = [ G 0 (L L 0 ) n=2 ] ( 1) n 1 G n 0((L L 0 )) n G 0 (7) n=2 Once again, we recognize a strong dependence on residuals. In the first the residual is based on what we would call data. In second it is between sources. Since the seismic source is usually unknown, the second is not likely to be considered part of any formal scattering based estimation scheme. However, whenever a reasonable estimate of a source is available it should be possible to base some form of inversion on the latter of the preceding equations. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

29 Inverse Scattering Convergence Convergence of the forward or inverse scattering series is not really an issue for us, but for any given source φ or data U, the series converge whenever or L 0 (G G 0 ) (φ) < 1 (8) G 0 (L L 0 ) (U) < 1. (9) These observations do not necessarily imply uniform convergence and, in fact, the rate of convergence can be source and data dependent. These two formulas simply provide a measure of how close the two residuals must be in order to guarantee convergence. What (8) and (9) imply is that finding a suitable L or G is highly dependent on how close the estimated is to the measured. Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

30 Inverse Scattering Free Surface Elimination Multiple Elimination The first step in ISS inversion eliminates free-surface multiples from the measured data. This is accomplished by assuming that G 0 = G f 0 + Gd 0 is expressible as a sum of a Green s function, G f, responsible for the wavefield due to the free-surface and a Green s function, G d, responsible for the direct propagating wavefield. One then computes the deghosted and first arrival eliminated data ) D 0 = G 0 (L L f 0 L d 0 G 0 (φ) The multiple for each order given by D n = D 0D n and the demultipled data is n= D = D 0 + φ n D n n=1 Second Order Multiple Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

31 Practical Issues Inverse Scattering Multiple Elimination Once deghosting and first arrival elimination has been completed the multiple orders are computed directly from the inverse scattering series In practice the seismic wavelet φ is not known Consequently subtraction of G 0 `Lf 0 L0 d G0 may be an issue Muting can be used to remove first arrival without knowing the wavelet Removing ghosts is potentially a more complex issue The estimation of φ is incorporated into the multiple elimination stage Thus φ is estimated as the wavelet minimizing D 0 P n= n=1 φ n D n A more general approach minimizes D 0 n=n P φ 1 n D n n=1 Which produces a new independent wavelet for each multiple order Bee Bednar (Panorama Technologies) Seismic Modeling, Migration and Velocity Inversion May 30, / 51

40 Inverse Scattering Multiple Elimination Complex multiple suppression (a) Raw (b) SRME Part (a) shows a slice though raw shot record. Part (b) is the record after SRME. This is eight order multiple elimination with a different wavelet for each order. Clearly, multiple suppression is not very good. An event directly below the water bottom has strong reflectivity inducing strong internal multiples.
